CHAPTER 3
PROVISION OF TRAINNING
Throughout the Internship Programme at Sumisaujana TCM Chemicals Sdn Bhd, I’ve
done my internship under maintenance department. Coordinator along the 10 weeks of
industrial training was En Arif Baruti who is responsible to guide and teach how to do
maintenance work properly. On the first day reporting, I’ve been briefed regarding the
internship schedule, general regulation, team structure, and the job scope by En Azrul Ismail,
Head of Department maintenance. I’ve learned different work culture, work scope, and
handling tools as well as to fulfil the requirement on how to be engineer who is know the
general knowledge to apply in the future.
As a need from Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, student need to fill in logbook with
activities as a daily report for evaluation. Therefore, student need to complete all the task and
project that have been assigned during the industrial training. The activities scheduled includes
practical exercise in maintenance work. However, all the practical activities were monitored
precisely by others staff according to their expertise.
12
3.2 EXPERIENCE GAINED
Students have been exposed to many industrial work and gained a lot of experience
during the 10 weeks of Industrial Training at Sumisaujana under maintenance department.
Basically, all the activities that have been go through bring new experience and new knowledge
to students as listed below:

CHAPTER 4
Carbonator also called incinerator is a container used for burning biological refuse. It
can also be an industrial plant designed for large-scale refuse combustion. Incinerators are used
to safely dispose of solid, liquid, and gaseous wastes that results from manufacturing processes.
An incinerator is a furnace constructed of heavy, well-insulated materials that is designed to
burn garbage and other types of animals, medical, and general waste in safe environment. This
system was used to burn the waste product from liquid state to dry carbon.
14
This furnace is designed to dispose of waste effectively, eliminating the danger to the
environment as well as the high costs of having it transported to a landfill. They are designed
and function in accordance with international emission regulations to protect human health.
Incinerators reduce the quantity of waste as well as provide a safe alternative for the disposal
of hazardous by-products of the manufacturing process. Depending on the composition and
degree of recovery of materials such as metal from the ash for recycling, incinerators reduce
the solid mass of the original waste by 80-85 percent and the volume (already compressed
somewhat in garbage trucks) by 95-96 percent. While incineration does not entirely replace
landfilling, it does considerably reduce the amount of waste that must be disposed of.
Incineration provides special advantages for the treatment of specific waste types in
niche sectors like clinical waste and hazardous wastes, where germs and poisons may be
eliminated by high temperatures. For examples, Sumisaujana is a chemical multi-product
plants with diverse toxic or very toxic wastewater streams, which cannot be routed to a
conventional wastewater treatment plant.

4.4 COOLING TOWER SYSTEM
A cooling tower is a specialized heat exchanger in which air and water are brought into
direct contact with each other in order to reduce the water’s temperature. As this occurs, a small
volume of water is evaporated, reducing the temperature of the water being circulated through
the tower.
When the water and air meet, a small amount of water is evaporated, creating a cooling
action. The cooled water is then pumped back to the condenser or process equipment where it
absorbs heat. It will then be pumped back to the cooling tower to be cooled once again. Cooling
Tower Fundamentals provides a level of basic cooling tower knowledge and is a great resource
for those wanting to learn more. Basically, this cooling tower was used to control temperature
of the reactor and other equipment.
23
4.5 COOLING TOWER MAINTENANCE SERVICING
1. Inspect belt tension at monthly internal and adjust if necessary, since V-Belt lend to
elongate in the beginning stage.
2. Replace worn-out belting to prevent unexpected breakdown. Adjustable structure must
be adjusted to suit new belting length.
3. Inspect fan bearing and motor bearing for abnormal appearance and noise.
4. Grease fan bearing at monthly internal through grease nipples provided.
5. Recommended to use Lithium Based Grease NLG1 Grade 2.
6. Inspect fan assembly for abnormal vibration.
7. Maintenance schedule must be performed as recommended in the operation and
maintenance of Genius.

4.6 THERMAL OIL HEATER SYSTEM
Thermal oil heating system are widely used to carry thermal energy in process heating,
metal working and machine cooling applications. They are mainly used in high temperature
process applications where the optimum bulk fluid operating temperatures of between 150°C
and 400°C. They are safe and more efficient that team, electrical, or direct fire heating methods.
When it comes to industrial heating, hot oil heaters are better option when it comes to industrial
heating in almost every case.
Thermal oil heater also known as thermal oil boilers are mostly less expensive to run
and maintain than water boilers. Water and steam boilers are considerably more dangerous than
thermal oil boilers due to the high pressures necessary to run them. Other significant advantages
of thermal oil systems include the lack of corrosion, lime deposits, and scale, which are
prevalent in heated water or steam boilers, significantly increasing the running expenses of a
water boiler. In addition, thermal oil boilers do not require makeup water or steam traps that
drain efficiently.
25
4.7 BOILER OPERATION
1. Make sure Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) below was used during servicing the
boiler
• Heat resistance glove
• Safety helmet
• Safety boots
26
4.8 TOOLS MANAGEMENT
• Each tool is given a specific spot for placement when not in use and must be returned
to the respective spot.
• Each tool needs to be recorded for calibration if required to be sent for recalibration
when the service due date arrives.
• All the tools that have been used need to be cleaned and place it in original positions.
27
4.9 COMPLEX PROBLEM
A lot of new knowledge and experienced have been gained throughout the 10 weeks of
industrial training in Sumisaujana TCM Chemicals Sdn Bhd. However, there are some minor
parts of the industrial training that I find it dangerous for the staff to deal with such as a small
bridge to cross the plant.
This company produces the chemical and additives that make the production area
become dirty and there is some chemical spillage when producing the product. This area is
dangerous for all the staff including maintenance workers to do servicing because of the
slippery surface. There is one small bridge has been created but it has many disadvantages. To
overcome this problem, I was in charge to bridge design to create a new bridge.
D A
28
CALCULATION
A = Length = 800mm
B = Width = 250mm
C = Height = 1000mm
D = 50mm
Basically, this small bridge was used to cross the wall to avoid workers fall when
crossing it. This bridge can accommodate 3 people with weight average 100 kg. the function is
to make sure the worker’s safety when doing the production process. Location of this bridge
was placed in front the Blend Tank 1 (BT1)
29
CHAPTER 5
Industrial Training at Sumisaujana TCM Chemicals Sdn Bhd give a great experience to me as
a student for learning process. During the internship, students were able to meet and network
with many people that will help them later in this internship training. Overall, the main
objective of this industrial training was success as student because were able to gain exposure
regarding working environment in real industry and gain more new knowledge especially in
engineering job scope. Maintenance department help me a lot about how to service,
troubleshoot, make a planning, control spare parts, filing documents and always be careful
with environment when doing the work.
Roughly, Industrial Training is a good platform to learn and recognize new people and new
knowledge with an excellent experience. Therefore, I hope for the next series of Industrial
Training at Sumisaujana TCM Chemicals Sdn Bhd, they will learn more knowledge and
gained more experience as much as they can. Personally, internship programme helps in
improving interpersonal skills, self-confident as well as self-motivation.
Finally, internship was practically effective and therefore the student would encourage people
to continue giving students this opportunity to do their academic requirement of internship
programmed from their organization.
